So lets say you're the lead press advance person in a delegation from Mexico visiting the U.S. for meetings with George Bush and his crew. You arrive well before any of your delegation or other press to arrange things and show people where to go, what to do, etc... What would you do if you noticed a bunch of BlackBerry devices sitting on a table outside a meeting room. You'd take them wouldn't you!? Of course you would! :P
That's exactly what Rafael Quintero Curiel did. Curiel took six or seven handheld devices outside of a room where the Mexican delegation was meeting with U.S. officials earlier in the week. The incident was caught on surveillance, and the secret service barely caught up with him...Curiel made it all the way to the airport before he was stopped by secret service, where he declared diplomatic immunity and left the country with the Mexican delegation.
Mexican officials have asked Curiel to tender his resignation as soon as he arrived back home in Mexico City... I should hope so!
At any rate, this one made me laugh... Not quite sure if it's because this guy is so stupid, or because he had the balls to try and pull something like this off. Perhaps its a bit of both.

First, we got the Mexican president who openly declared that his relatives are illegal in US and he want to "champion" the the illegal issues so his relative could be legalized.
And now one of Mexican high ranking official is caught hand in cookie jar as a petty and idiot thief. ( if he is smart, he should know that you could not even fart and/ or pick your nose in White house without SS find out)
HMM............
It is funny that it took the SS that long to catch the thief. It doesn't make me laugh that the guy is caught red handed and instead of owning up to his stupid crime he declares "diplomatic immunity" (which is stupid in itself) and just went back to Mexico like nothing happened. I'll bet that nothing will be done by his superiors and life will go on for the petty thief. He might as well have stolen a car.
it figures....
sometimes stereotypes just play themselves out, dont they.
That is one serious case of a Crackberry addiction...
...why all those Blackberrys were left unsecured in the first place. Y'know? I'd be asking where the safe was to store mine before I'd hand it over, White House or no.
Most people have never experienced WH security but those who have know how very tight it is. But as in everything, some things can be overlooked as, "No one would be THAT stupid!!" Well, guess again....One thing is for sure though, the SS learns RREEEAAALLLLY quickly and it won't happen again.
